If your driveway is looking tired, slippery or stained, our team can bring it back to life quickly and neatly. We regularly work around Balham station and along Bedford Hill, where traffic grime and leaf litter build up fast. Our driveway cleaning balham area service removes moss, algae and embedded dirt, improving grip and appearance. Expect a visible transformation without the mess.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have block paving, concrete or stone setts that show every mark. In Nightingale and Clapham South, shaded front gardens can encourage moss and green algae on paving. We tailor pressure levels and detergents to suit the surface, protecting joints and edges. The result looks sharper and stays cleaner for longer.
We start with an inspection, then apply weed treatment and pre-treat oil stains before controlled pressure washing. Where appropriate, we re-sand joints and offer sealing to reduce future staining and weed growth. We work tidily, manage run-off responsibly, and leave access clear as soon as it’s safe. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, clear pricing and a finish that lasts.
Balham’s mix of busy roads and leafy streets means driveways collect soot, tyre marks and organic growth. Parking and access can be tight near Balham High Road, so we plan equipment and water use to minimise disruption. We also account for shaded sections near boundaries and front gardens that stay damp longer. Our driveway cleaning in London Borough of Wandsworth approach adapts to each property’s layout and surface type.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most driveway cleaning in SW12 is priced by area and condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. For many Balham homes, the usual total falls around £150–£400, depending on size, surface type and how much moss, weeds or oil staining is present. Extras such as re-sanding and sealing can increase the cost, but they also extend the results and reduce future maintenance.
In most cases, driveway cleaning takes around half a day. Timing depends on the driveway size, the level of moss and algae, and whether you want oil stain removal, re-sanding or sealing. Heavily soiled block paving can take longer because joints need careful cleaning and fresh kiln-dried sand. Weather also matters, as sealing requires a dry surface to cure properly.
Driveway cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, in the London Borough of Wandsworth you still need to be mindful about run-off, detergents and where wastewater goes, especially near drains. If your property is a listed building or within a conservation area, extra care may be sensible. We’ll advise on practical compliance and adjust methods to suit your site.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on applicable sealing and surface protection work, provided the surface is suitable and maintained as advised. The warranty covers issues linked to our application, such as premature sealant failure due to incorrect preparation. Cleaning results can vary with weather and shade, but we use proven treatments to slow regrowth. We’ll explain what’s covered before starting.
After cleaning, we can tailor the finish to your driveway surface. For block paving, re-sanding with kiln-dried sand is popular to stabilise joints, and sealing can be added in matt or satin finishes. For concrete and natural stone, we use suitable cleaners and can recommend breathable sealers where appropriate. We’ll help you choose based on look, slip resistance, and how you use the space.
